the rpf1 is just too cheap and too good. if you are ever in a situation where you think either one would work, why not go with the cheaper option?

I've never personally been a fan of the Enkei's from a cosmetic viewpoint.

I like the look of the Works better, but the Enkeis are more functional. The Works are going go be about 8lbs heavier per corner.

if he wanted RPF01's for lightness, he'd be getting them in 17"...

that said, the Enkei's are on everything ever, so if you don't mind not standing out, get them.

IMO I'd get the Emotion CR, looks really sex with the concave face

The 18" rpf1's are still lighter than the stock 17's.

Work, unless this is going to be an all-out track car. I think RPF1's are ugly, but you can't deny how light they are. I'm SO sick of black cars with black wheels, though. Silver would be much classier.

Which did you end up getting? If you went with work, what size and offset did you get?

Much thanks in advance.

rpf1's not even funny how strong they are. Friend was driving and his wheel flew off and hit a curb at 40~mph and not a dent on the wheel, still holds air.

Cant go wrong with either.

RPF1=Lighter
Work CR=Stand out better

But on a pearl white car I would say that the black Works look better. :happy0180:

RPF1 if you want to maintain rotational weight. I was tossing up between Work Kiwami's and RPF1 in 18x9.5+38. Went RPF1 as it is a lighter rim and I could get them for less.

I am in the same situation too. I would choose RPF-1 for the price and weight then the Work CR.
